Applying table row properties via script

I am setting some row properties and no matter what I have tried - they do not get applied.

I have the table row available in the oRow object. First I tried setting the row start position directly:

oRow.RowStart = Constants.FV_ROW_TOP_OF_COL;

If I call Table > Format > Row Format the dialog shows that the Top of Column setting is set. It is just not activated - the row remains where it is.

I tried to set the property via SetProps as follows:

var oaProps = oRow.GetProps( );
var i = GetPropIndex( oaProps, Constants.FP_RowStart );
var oProp = oaProps;
oProp.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_ROW_TOP_OF_COL;

var oaNewProps = new PropVals;
oaNewProps.push( oProp );
oRow.SetProps( oaNewProps );

Same result - the property is set (as showing in the Row Format dialog) but not activated. Does anyone know how to make this work ?

By the way, I first tried to use EDD rules to force the row to the top of the column via an attribute value - that does not work either.

Hi Jang,

There are some things that you do with tables programmatically that don't show up unless you update the document's hyphenation. I had to do this with my TableCleaner script and my earlier TableCleaner plugin. Try something like this:

doc.Rehyphenate ();

where doc is your Doc object.

Rick, you rock !

I tried Save (which worked for another table change), Reformat, Redisplay. I had not seen Rehyphenate and I never would have thought of that.

Thanks. This will make my customer very happy.
